Student Mental Health and Wellbeing

Our student mental health and wellbeing initiatives are aligned with the Australian University Mental Health Framework and informed by the Limerick Framework for Action: Advancing the Global Health Promoting Campuses Agenda.

We take a broad, holistic view of health and wellbeing to address the mental health and wellbeing needs of UniSC students.

Our principles

Student centred and co-designed

Student mental health and wellbeing initiatives are informed by the voices, lived experiences, and diverse needs of students.

Whole of university commitment

A coordinated, university-wide approach strengthens mental health and wellbeing. 

Inclusive, connected, and supportive communities

A mentally healthy university prioritises diversity, equity, and inclusion, fostering belonging, social connection, and psychological safety.

Timely and accessible support

Students have access to the right support, at the right time, in the right way. 

Learning environments enhance wellbeing

Academic success and mental wellbeing are interconnected. 

Data informed and responsive

Our actions are guided by research, data, and sector best practices. 

Systems thinking and broader social determinants

Student mental health and wellbeing is shaped by intersecting personal, social, economic, and environmental factors.
